UE News and Notes for Nov. 29, 2012

—A story I’ve wanted to write since the Western Illinois game, when the opposing bench yelled “shooter!” every time D.J. Balentine touched the ball, is about the freshman’s impact as a scorer early for the Aces. Balentine has said on many occasions he didn’t come to UE to do anything other than win. He’ll have four solid years in the rotation to do so.

—No. 8 Kentucky lost Thursday night 64-50 at Notre Dame. Maybe now is a good time to remind that UE only lost by nine when the Aces opened their season in South Bend.
